I HATE
today's card. Let me give you a little story
real quick. I was playing the Galactic Quest
storeowner one day, and I discarded his whole
hand (you know how). There were TWO of these
mothers in his hand. Instead of having no field
and no hand, he suddenly had no hand but a field
full of 5500 power attackers I had to deal
with. It wasn't pretty (though I managed to win
anyway). Story told, onto the card:
Dava Torey, Seeker of Clouds
Cost: 6
Civilization: Darkness
Card Type: Creature
Race: Mecha Thunder
•
During your opponent's turn, if this creature would
be discarded from your hand, put it into your battle
zone instead.
Flavor Text: "I refuse to be forgotten."
Power: 5500
Mana
Generated: 1
Rarity: Common
Card Number:
whocares?/55
Yeah, today's bonus is in the flavor text.
Which card does it allude to, that has similar
flavor text. A hint, I've already hinted at
it. ^_^*
Civilization: LIght monsters
tend to usually have the really unique
abilities. This guy is no exception. He's also
a mecha Thunder, which don't have any evolutions
or support that I am aware of, but tend to be a
decent race all around... I also feel compelled
to point out that this card has some of my
favorite art EVER.
Cost: You could dry cast him
for six mana, but really, we won't be WANTING to
do that, now will we? Did I mention I like his
art?
Power: 5500 power is nothing
to shake a stick at. It's also nothing to shake
a Thrash Crawler at... And his artwork is
cooler than Thrash Crawler. The point I'm
trying to make here is that he can run over most
commonly played creatures, is immune to most
cheap kill spells, and he can run over commonly
played blockers. And he has pimpin' art.
Abilities: This ability is
NASTY. If it is discarded during your opponents
turn (by either player, but I'm getting to that)
he is summoned to the field. This means he
won't have summoning sickness on your turn.
He's also big, and nasty. This ability means
you don't have to pay for him, and it turns lost
advantage (from hand) into gained advantage
(field, without mana spending). His ability is
cool, on par with his art.
THE REVIEW
Constructed overview: In this
format, he's a pimp. His power is nice, but
it's his ability that makes him shine. With
Locomotiver, Lost Soul, and othe hand discard
running amok, his ability will be darn useful.
And you know how I told you that his ability can
work when either player dicards him? Well,
think back to a certain darkness card from
Evo-Crushinators, and ask yourself that doesn't
just scream EVIL COMBO! (The monster, btw, is
Gigastand). In this format, if you're running
light and want to counter the metagame, or you
just want a monster with cool artwork, this is
your man. 4/5
Limited overview: Eh, it's not
as good here, since there aren't as much
discard, but he's still usable. He's a fattie,
and will be hard to kill. If you are running
light, need a fattie, or are drafting for
coolness, take him. 3 /5
FOR
THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW...
Anyhow, I'm
doing a little contest at the moment. Look at
the underlined part of my review (not the next
time line, but something else), and tell me what
that line is from, or where I got it from.
Today, I told you to figure out next weeks
theme, by looking at this weeks. The first
person to e-mail me five times with the correct
answers will win a copy of the card we reviewed
that day, plus a little... Bonus.
Monday's
question was answered correctly by
chaos_semaj11. Nobody has found my hidden
message in Wednesdays review, so it's still
open. Anyways, todays is at the top of the
page. I've practically given you the answer, so
go ahead and email me when you figure it out.
Next week: Cards we probably WON'T see at
Nationals. Starting with... A flying Fish?

Okay, we
finally made it to Friday. I'm sure many of you
are pumped for the next two weeks as this may be
your last week to practice for Continentals.
Next weekend (Oct. 22nd), is the pre-release of
a set that has been getting a lot of attention,
Epic Dragons (for short). So make sure you get
the proper amount of playtesting in.
Name:
Dava Torey, Seeker of Clouds
Cost: 6
Race: Mecha Thunder
Civilization: Light
Type: Creature
Rules Text:
During your opponent's turn, if this creature
would be discarded from your hand, put it into
the battle zone instead.
Flavor Text:
"I refuse to be forgotten."
Power: 5500
Mana Number: 1
Artist: Norikatsu Miyoshi
Rarity: U
Collector Number: 18
Set: Stomp-a-Trons of Invincible Wrath
So to end
this week, we have something that could see some
play as a tech card (means as a card that can be
used great against some decks).
Type/Civilization:
Well, Light may actually see some play in Los
Angeles. I sure am hoping for it to. Though
there are some other choices here that you may
rather pick than this card, you may be able to
truly "tech" it and throw one in. Mecha
Thunders are stuck on opposite day. No real
support for the Mecha people who haven't been
Mecha.
Cost/Power:
Well, Light is also known for having some pretty
good if not great Cost/Power ratios. This is
not an exception. So if you can't get its
effect, you can always summon him as a beatstick. Though
with the enormous possibility of Corile,
actually more like the fact that Coriles will be
present, this may turn against you and hurt your
chances of winning. No one likes getting
Corile'd more than once on a single monster
consecutively and the monster doesn't have a
"come into play" effect. That was a mouthful.
Effect:
This card is great against decks with those
discarding cards, and we know that some form
will be in the majority of people's deck. This
also combos well with creatures that say "If
this card is destroyed, you may return it to
your hand instead. If you do, discard a card
from your hand." So if you can get your
opponent to destroy those cards on his/her turn,
you can lose no disadvantage whatsoever.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the person that
brought this to my attention, if I would've I
would have posted his/her forum name.
Constructed: 3/5
About a 75% chance that your opponent will be
running some form of discard. That is my guess.
Limited: 3.5/5
You could run it. I would pick it
second round after you've looked at all your
cards.
Overall: 3.25/5
*Please someone just choose a card that really
sucks that way I can end this streak*
Comments??
Well, until
next time, good luck on possibly your last day
of playtesting for Continentals.
Laterz,
Horus

Name: Dava
Torey, Seeker of Clouds
Cost: 6
Race: Mecha Thunder
Civilization: Light
Type: Creature
Rules Text:
During your opponent's turn, if this creature would
be discarded from your hand, put it into the battle
zone instead.
Flavor Text:
"I refuse to be forgotten."
Power: 5500
Rarity: Uncommon
Set: Stomp-a-Trons of Invincible Wrath
Cost:
You really don't want to summon this creature
normally, because it would be a waste.
Race:
Mecha Thunders really don't have any support or Evos
now.
Power:
Cost to Power: 6 to 5500. Not too great. Doesn't
have Double Breaker either.
Effect:
With all the Lost Souls and Locos runnin around, and
you wanted to be safe, run Dava Torey, or atleast
splash some in.
Limited:
First, there is Gigazald. There is only 1 other
Chimera in the set, so you would not really get
discard from him. Then, there is Rain of Arrows.
Dava Torey won't see any discard because he is
light. Schuka, DUke of Amnesia is the only thing
that would discard Dava. Schuka discards both
players hands, so it would actually give you
advantage. With only one discarder in Stomp-A-Tron,
this card will rarely see play.
2/10
Constructed:
With 2 cards normally used: Loco and Lost Soul, this
card will see play. Even if you don't run Light,
splashing it and maybe Holy Awe works too. You
should always be safe about discard.
7/10
